Knickerbocker Country Club
About the club
In a crowded northern New Jersey golf market, Knickerbocker Country Club’s trajectory continues to rise as the club improves its golf course and amenities. The past 15-20 years have seen a steady restoration and tree removal program—first by Ron Forse in 2007 and 2008 and current transformation being done by Jaeger Kovich of Proper Golf and overseen by superintendent Kyle Hillegass. The routing is a fantastic mix of strategy and heroic design—testing ball control into some of the most sloped greens in the state. The ultra-slick Donald Ross/Herbert Strong greens are some of the most varied putting complexes you’ll see—like the par-3 sixth hole, which is part reverse-redan, part tidal wave rising from left to right—meaning errant tee shots or poor approach putts often lead to auto-bogeys. Nearby clubs like Ridgewood, Hackensack and Arcola might garner more attention, but Knickerbocker is a great private club with a fantastic pool and other amenities.

This club is one of the best in New Jersey. The new steakhouse is unbelievable. Service is fantastic. The food is amazing.and chef John does a fabulous job.. You can’t beat the fact that it’s the only club that’s open all year round and everything is just beautiful..They even have virtual golf so you can get ready for summer. The people are so nice and the facilities are five star ,if you want to golf club that you really want to enjoy throughout the year, especially with the pool that’s Olympic size with cabanas and enough space for all members it’s THE place to.

I recently photographed a wedding here and have nothing but amazing things to say about the whole team here. They were such amazing people to work with. They worked so hard for the couple getting married and all of their other vendors. I hope to go back soon!

As soon as I stepped on the practice putting green I knew that my putting skills would fail to the challenge of these super fast putting surfaces. 8 three putts later... The course is pristine enjoyable, playable and worthy of all of the adulation it receives. I was a member's guest who, at the end of the round was fulfilled and a touch envious. As the other recreational facilities are across the street, so the course stands alone in silence. A temple of golf.
